One thought on “Copy /etc/fstab document to /var/TMP directory. According the following requirements to configure the permission of this document.

  1. mkdir -p /var/TMP
    cp /etc/fstab /var/TMP
    chown root:root /var/TMP/fstab
    setfacl -m u:mary:rw /var/TMP/fstab
    setfacl -m u:alice:rx /var/TMP/fstab
    adduser -u 1000 bob
    setfacl -m u:bob:rw /var/TMP/fstab

    –last request can be achieved using different means recording all of those option
    setfacl o:r /var/TMP/fstab
    OR
    chmod o+r /var/TMP/fstab

    Question explicitly didn’t mention that all users should not have execute permissions which usually exists on the files.
    Let us assume that last requirement about all users having read permission also translates to not having execute permission then following command is also needed.

    chmod a-x /var/TMP/fstab

  2. cp /etc/fstab /var/tmp
    cd /var/tmp
    chown root:root fstab
    chmod a-x fstab
    setfacl -m u:marry:rw fstab
    setfacl -m u:alice:rx fstab
    useradd –u 1000 bob
    setfacl -m u:bob:rw fstab
    chmod o+r fstab
